now
roll the dice and commence
with the enterprise
take time to tantalize
with bitter-sweet compromise
and dont
ever take false starts to heart and
when you pour out your soul dont
let em make a new hole

a teer a tare a tare a teer
here here and here
what did you think it would take
to ignore a god given fear
didnt you think it would
shake wake break debase and skewer
now
i'm only slightly ashamed
when i look in the mirror

precious like rare poison
these forces keep the boy from destroying
knowledge and wisdom
are the source of my pain
and i ponder the things
that without morals and scruples
i might gain
the advantages of a small brain
but know
if you remember the what ifs
they will drive you insane

"and i ponder the things
that without my morals and scruples
i would gain"

if you know right and you do wrong it is much more appalling than if you never knew it at all
